Related Art

In recent years, with progress of science and technologies, flat liquid crystal displays gradually become popular and have advantages such as lightness and slimness. Currently, a driver circuit of a flat liquid crystal display is mainly constituted by connecting an external IC to a panel. However, this method cannot lower product costs or make the panel slimmer.

In addition, a liquid crystal display device usually includes a gate driver circuit, a source driver circuit, and a pixel array. The pixel array includes a plurality of pixel circuits. Each pixel circuit is switched on or off according to a scanning signal provided by the gate driver circuit. A data screen is displayed according to a data signal provided by the source driver circuit. With regard to the gate driver circuit, the gate driver circuit usually includes a plurality of stages of shift registers and outputs the scanning signal to the pixel array in a manner of transferring the scanning signal from a current-stage shift register to a next-stage shift register, so as to sequentially switch on the pixel circuits and enable the pixel circuit to receive the data signal.

Therefore, in a manufacturing process of a driver circuit, a gate driver circuit is directly manufactured on an array substrate to replace a driver chip made by connecting to an external IC. Such a technology, referred to as a gate driver on array (GOA), may be directly applied to a periphery of a panel, to reduce manufacturing procedures, product costs, and a thickness of the panel. However, pulling down a potential is alternately controlled by two groups of signals in the existing GOA technology, and a duty cycle is 50%. In this case, transistors responsible for pulling down the potential are in a positive voltage state for a long time and cannot get enough rest. As a result, reliability of the transistors rapidly degrades, and an electrical leakage risk is caused, further directly leading to low display quality or even damage to a display device. Therefore, to alleviate disadvantages of the foregoing conventional GOA circuit substrate technology, a gate array shift register having low manufacturing costs and an easy processing procedure is provided.
